“Who are you looking for?” Qiao Mei asked.

One of the men with a scar on his face at the door approached Qiao Mei with a sinister smile. Qiao Mei slowly retreated back into the room. The scar-faced man only stopped when everyone had entered the room.

“You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know that your good days are over!” the scar-faced man said happily.

“Is Gao Lin in your hands?” Qiao Mei asked calmly.

The scar-faced man was a little surprised by Qiao Mei’s reaction. If it was any other woman, she would have already curled up in a corner and wept loudly, or she would have knelt down and begged for mercy. It was very rare to see a calm and rational woman like Qiao Mei.

Seeing such a beautiful and smart woman, the scar-faced man did not feel like doing anything to Qiao Mei. It would be great if he could bring her back to be his wife! Unfortunately, his client had paid him a lot of money, so he had to take care of his own interests first.

“So what if he’s in our hands? Are you going to pay a ransom for him?” the scar-faced man asked.

“Name your price,” Qiao Mei said.

“Five million,” the scar-faced man said without a second thought as he spread out his hand.

Qiao Mei looked at the scar-faced man in shock. Five million! Such greed. Even the Zhang family in Country M did not have to pay so much money for Zhang Cheng’s ransom.

“Is your target my granduncle or Gao Ying?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Gao Ying? Who’s Gao Ying? We don’t know this person! We only know Gao Lin and you!” the scar-faced man said.

Anyone who grew up in Hu City would know who Gao Ying was. It was obvious that these people in front of her were not locals from Hu City and they were not here to seek revenge on the Gao family.

If it was not about the Gao family, then it must have something to do with her.

“I don’t have that much money. If you accept a lower amount, perhaps we can still talk about it,” Qiao Mei said.

“Rubbish! Have you ever seen a kidnapper bargaining with a hostage! I’m already showing you respect by telling you that Gao Lin is still alive! Go and get the money now! Even if you don’t have this amount, your family definitely does! Do you think you can escape from me?” the scar-faced man said firmly.

“How do you know if my family has money or not? Do you know who my family is?” Qiao Mei asked. If these men knew that Qiao Mei was a member of the Xia family, they probably would not have dared to take on this job.

“I don’t need to know who your family is! Don’t talk nonsense with me! I want money! Money! Your family must be rich! Go and call your family to ask for money now! Otherwise, I can’t guarantee how long your granduncle can stay alive,” the scar-faced man said.

His underling next to him said anxiously, “Boss! Why are you talking nonsense with this woman! Just knock her out and bring her back! It’s more lucrative to have two hostages!”

The scar-faced man raised his hand to knock Qiao Mei out, but she quickly dodged to the side and said, “Don’t touch me! I’m scared of pain! I’ll go with you! I’ll listen to you!”

The scar-faced man revealed a satisfied smile. The truth was that he did not want to have to knock Qiao Mei out and drag her out. A group of men carrying a beautiful woman out of this place would be too eye-catching.

“Go and search her luggage,” the scar-faced man said as he sat on the bed and waved his hand at his underlings.

His underlings went forward to open Qiao Mei’s suitcase. It contained the money she had brought back from Shen City to buy a house, about 50,000 dollars in local currency and 6,000 dollars in foreign currency.

“Oh my goodness! Boss, we’re rich! We’re rich! There’s so much money!” the underling said excitedly as he held up the money.

Even the scar-faced man sitting on the bed looked very excited and this made Qiao Mei very suspicious. They kidnapped Gao Lin and dared to ask for a random of five million dollars, but an amount of 50,000 dollars already made them so happy. No matter how she thought about it, it did not seem right.

“Alright, alright! Let’s take the money and go!” The scar-faced man asked his underlings to stuff the money into their bag and the group headed downstairs to leave the hotel.

When turning a corner at the stairway, Qiao Mei smashed her bangle on the floor emotionlessly and stomped on the fragments, pushing them into a crack in the floor.

This was the imperial green jade bangle that Qiao Mei bought at the antique market. It would be worth tens of millions in the future! It was a pity to destroy it, but it was worth the loss if she could leave a clue for Luo Yu.

The staff at the front desk looked at Qiao Mei and the men curiously. They all knew that Qiao Mei was rich since she could afford to stay in a VIP room. So what was a rich person doing with these fierce-looking men?
